Okay here goes...

I would like to write a device driver for Unix Sys5 V3.0 running on an
AT&T 3b2/300.  I have no problem writing the driver.  My problem is,
how the heck do I load it into the system?!?  Don't I need to set the
addresses of the routine into the cdevsw table (it's a character driver)?
The only documentation that I can find simply tells me to update /etc/master.d,
and or etc/system.

Any help that you could send me (email please, I'll post if requested) would
be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

Greg

By the way, this is a personal machine, so no, I won't cause death and
destruction in the wake of my testing :-}.
